The names of Alejandro Balde and Pablo Gavi have once again been dragged into transfer speculation, with Paris Saint-Germain appearing in circulating transfer graphics alongside the two Barcelona stars. 👀🇫🇷
But there is an important detail Barça fans need to know: the graphic should not be treated as confirmation that either player has agreed to join PSG. Current official Barcelona information still lists Balde and Gavi as members of Hansi Flick’s 2026/27 first-team squad. Both players were also involved in Barcelona’s training session on September 22 during the international break.
🔥 ALEJANDRO BALDE — THE LEFT-BACK PSG WOULD LOVE?
Balde remains one of Barcelona’s most explosive defenders. The 22-year-old left-back combines speed, power and attacking ability, making him an important part of Barça’s squad.
Barcelona renewed his contract in 2023 until June 2028, with a reported €1 billion buyout clause at the time.
There was, however, transfer uncertainty surrounding Balde during the summer. Spanish reports said Barcelona were open to considering a sale if a suitable offer arrived, while Balde himself was reportedly reluctant to leave and wanted to fight for his place under Flick.
And the latest official squad information tells an important story: Balde is still wearing Barcelona’s No. 3 shirt in the 2026/27 squad.
🔵🔴 GAVI — BARÇA’S WARRIOR IN MIDFIELD!
Then there is Gavi. 😤🔥
The Spanish midfielder has become one of the symbols of Barcelona’s next generation, bringing intensity, aggression, technical quality and an incredible competitive mentality to midfield.
Barcelona announced in January 2025 that Gavi had signed a new contract keeping him at the club until June 2030.
And unlike the transfer graphic circulating online, Barcelona’s current official squad list still has Gavi wearing No. 6 for the 2026/27 season.
👀 SO, WHAT ABOUT PSG?
PSG have established themselves as one of the biggest forces in European football, and it is hardly surprising that elite Barcelona players can become subjects of transfer speculation.
But there is currently a huge difference between being linked with a club and actually being transferred to that club.
At this point, the available official Barcelona information does not confirm transfers of Balde or Gavi to Paris Saint-Germain. In fact, Barcelona’s squad information continues to list both players as part of Flick’s team.
And Barcelona have already shown this summer that major defensive and midfield changes can happen around the squad. Yet Balde and Gavi remain registered members of the first team after the transfer window closed.
🔥 THE BIG QUESTION NOW IS WHETHER THIS STORY WILL RETURN
PSG have the financial power to pursue top-level players, while Barcelona have repeatedly faced difficult decisions concerning squad management and finances.
For Balde, the situation could be particularly interesting because reports during the summer suggested there had been discussions about his future. But the latest developments indicate that he remains at Barça and is working under Flick.
For Gavi, however, Barcelona’s long-term commitment is much clearer on paper, with his contract running until 2030.
🚨🔵🔴 FOR NOW, THE MESSAGE IS SIMPLE: BALDE AND GAVI ARE STILL BARÇA PLAYERS!
The PSG arrows in the circulating graphic have certainly created plenty of discussion, but there is no official confirmation that either player has moved to Paris.
With the 2026/27 season already underway, Barça fans will be watching closely to see how much responsibility Flick gives both players as the campaign develops. 👀🔥
⚽ BALDE + GAVI = TWO MORE PIECES OF BARÇA’S YOUNG CORE! 🔵🔴
🔥 CULERS, WOULD YOU BE SURPRISED IF PSG MADE A SERIOUS MOVE FOR EITHER BALDE OR GAVI? 👀👇
